Section 17 Fighting the Yellow Turban

The news of the Yellow Turban's attack caused a panic in Zhuo County, and the acting county guard Wang Hao hurriedly wanted to escape, and the county lieutenant Zou Jing stepped forward to stop: "Ming Gong doesn't need to panic, the Yellow Turban is coming from Fangcheng, and he must first pass through Lousang Village in the southeast of Zhuo County, Ming Gong has forgotten that there is a tiger in Lousang Village?" ”

Jun Taishou suddenly realized: "Didn't you mean Liu Bei and Liu Xuande Gong of Zhuo County?" I have also visited him several times, but unfortunately, this person has a wide range of friends, every time I go to visit, I can't see him, is he in Lousang Village recently? ”

Zou Jing replied: "This person is currently in Lousang Village, since Taishou Zhang Bang recruited the Quartet Township Yong, this person has convened the Township Warrior Training in Lousang Village. At this moment, it is best to recruit Xuande Gong here and lead the township to fight against the thieves, and I am willing to give in to the position of captain. ”

The county Taishou said hesitantly: "I heard that Xuande Gong once served as a soldier in Youzhou, and I summoned him as a lieutenant of a small county, I'm afraid he won't come." ”

Zou Jing said angrily: "Xuande Gong is also a hero in the world, when this time is in danger, how can he not come because he is a small official. Besides, Xuande Gong trained Xiang Yong, isn't it just to pacify the thief, Ming Gong doesn't have to worry, as long as he gives me an official document to recruit Liu Bei, I will personally come to the door to explain to him."

The county was overjoyed, and immediately wrote an official document and handed it over to Zou Jing.

Zou Jing said happily: "In this way, the counties of Zhuo County can be saved." The military situation is urgent, so I will go to Lousang Village to find Xuande Gong. ”

When Zou Jing arrived in Lousang Village, I was welcoming Zhang He. Previously, the Yellow Turban Army broke Renqiu City, and Zhang He led more than 300 relatives to flee to Zhuo County. Along the way, I heard that he came to take refuge in Liu Bei in Zhuo County, and the displaced people rushed to cling to him. They had all heard that I had resettled 100,000 displaced people in the past, so they wanted to come here and let me resettle them. All of a sudden, Zhuo County was crowded with people, as lively as a bazaar.

As soon as Zhang He saw me, he bowed his head and bowed: "Ming Gong saw me last year, and he once said that the world was in turmoil, and he was this year." Today, it seems that it is as Ming Gong expected. He has broken his family today, and he has come to Ming Gong to take him in. ”

I immediately picked up Zhang He and said Cao Cao's famous sentence when he saw him at that time: "General Zhang He is here, such as Han Xin's return to Han, how can I not like it." Come, let me introduce you to my two brothers. ”

I immediately introduced Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to him, and watching Zhang Fei and Zhang He, two historical rivals, shake hands and talk, I couldn't help but have a feeling that things are wrong.

At this time, the attendant reported that Zou Jing, the captain of Zhuo County, was visiting, and I nodded, knowing in my heart that he must have come to urge me to fight.

As soon as Zou Jing met, he immediately said happily: "Children's rumors: If you don't know Liu Xuande in your life, it is in vain to call yourself a hero." When I see Xuande Gong today, I can boast to the township party in the future. ”

At this moment, when it was not the time to be modest, I asked: "Lord Zou is here, but the Yellow Turban Thieves have already committed Zhuo County." ”

Zou Jing was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "As Xuande Gong expected, the vanguard of the thief party has broken through Fangcheng, and it will be one day if it is fast, and two days if it is slow, and it will come to Zhuo County." ”

After speaking, he gave a deep salute and said: "I came here to see that the displaced people in the four towns are willing to take refuge under the Xuande Gongmen, and the Taishou Lord hopes that the Xuande Gonghu is mighty and can shelter Zhuojun, and Jing is willing to give up the post of captain and listen to orders under the command of Xuande Gong." ”

I nodded and replied, "In that case, the military situation is urgent, so I won't say anything more to you." I turned my head and ordered Guan Hai: "Summon, gather all the adults, and discuss the military situation in the army." ”

After everyone came, I first got up and bowed to Fu Zhishen, and said: "The affairs of the army, plan first, Fu Gong has unpredictable wisdom, and I am ready to worship as the right army division, and I hope that Fu Gong will help me calm down this troubled world." ”

He stood up and thanked him, saying, "Dare to disobey orders." ”

I turned around and bowed to Tian Feng, "Tian Gong's talent, no less than Zizheng (frustrated), I should worship as the left military division, and I hope that the two of them will work together to help my big man." ”

Tian Feng got up and thanked him, saying, "I obey the order, I dare not resign." ”

I turned to everyone and said, "In the future, these two gentlemen will be my Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, I will call them 'military advisors', that is, the divisions within the army, and the planning matters in the army depend on you and the military advisors, and I hope you will discuss more with the military advisors." The order of the army is the first, and the order of the military advisor is my order. Remember, military discipline is observed. ”

The crowd agreed. I again invited Tian Feng to take a seat, and the right hand was in my right hand, which was honored in the Han Dynasty because the right hand is stronger than the left hand. Tian Feng is on the left hand and is the position of the left army division.

Glancing at Tian Chou, I opened my mouth and said, "Zitai, you should be engaged in Cao Cao, a soldier in the army." Now that the people of the four corners have come to vote for me, I can't ignore it. You are familiar with Izumo Castle and this place, and I will leave it to you to arrange for the people to transfer to Izumo Castle. When you go, you take the people with you, and when you return, you bring with us the weapons, money, and food that we need. I entrust you with all the transshipment matters between the two places. This matter is related to the survival of our army, and Fei Zitai cannot take on this big responsibility, and I hope that Zitai can do it. ”

Tian Chou got up and agreed, I turned my head to Zhang He and said: "Junyi (Zhang He's character), you just came here, you haven't settled your relatives yet, I'll give you a few days to pack up, if any of your relatives are willing to go to Izumo City for refuge, you can set off with Zitai, and if you are willing to join the army, you will incorporate them into the army." In addition, if the people of Sixiang are willing to join the army, they can choose their young and strong to join the army. I'll assign you 20 non-commissioned officers to help you build up your ranks. After your army is formed, escort Lord Tian Chou's baggage team all the way back and forth between Izumo Castle and our army. I will make you the captain of another department, and the safety of Lord Tian Chou and the baggage team will be handed over to you. ”

Zhang He didn't expect me to call his name and surname, and immediately got up and agreed: "The lord orders, he is willing to serve the death." ”

Next, I clicked on Jian Yong: "Xianhe, in the affairs of the army, grain and grass first, I will let you join the army, and be in charge of the overall planning of grain and grass in the army." You can go to the homeless people and choose the strong people to form a grain and grass team."

Jian Yong got up and agreed, and I then said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Two virtuous brothers, now we have a total of 1,500 trained Xiangyong, I plan to divide it into 3 brigades, each brigade has two battalions, if there is an expansion of the army in the future, let them become a full brigade, you and I brothers each lead a brigade, divided into the left and right armies and the middle army, how about it?" ”

Zhang Fei immediately jumped up and shouted: "Okay, good, big brother fights against the Yellow Turban, I should be the pioneer thief." Guan Yu stood up and silently bowed his hand to me, indicating that he accepted the order.

Looking at Zhang Fei who was dancing happily, I suddenly had an idea, in history, Zhang Fei liked to whip soldiers, and eventually died because of it, if I set up a rule that I was not allowed to whip soldiers and treat my subordinates well, wouldn't Zhang Fei's doom be avoided.

Touching my chin, I remembered a person, Tian Shangtian Bugui, the person who dared to spank even me hard in my whole army operation, maybe this person also dared to spank Zhang Fei's ass.

Hahaha, I immediately ordered: "Zitai, you go to Izumo City and bring back a person for me, this person's name is Tian Shangtian Bugui, for the director of military justice in Izumo City, military affairs in the army, military discipline first, you let him bring his deputy to come to our army as the chief military judge." ”

"Chen Qun, you will stay in Zhuo County and help us contact and communicate with Izumo City." Looking at Chen Qun's thin body, I gave an order, and this job was just right for him.

"As for General Zou," I continued, "Just rest here and watch us and the thieves."

After arranging these, I turned my head and asked the two military advisors: "Zizheng (frustrated) and Fu Hao, the two of you see that there are any omissions in my arrangement." ”

Fu Zhi got up first and replied: "Art of War: The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." The lord first arranged the grain and grass, and then distributed the sergeants, which really won the true meaning of Sun Tzu's Art of War. ”

Tian Feng also replied: "The Art of War: In the trip of the three armies, military discipline comes first. In the end, the lord did not forget to strictly enforce military discipline, and Feng was impressed. ”

I immediately said unhappily: "Be a human being, and be happy when you hear it." The two military advisors are expected by the army, and at this time they are facing the enemy, how can they just praise them, I just want to know the talents of the two military advisors. ”

Frustrated, he stood up and saluted and said: "I am happy when I hear it, the lord is worthy of being the hero of the world, I am thinking, there are as many as 50,000 Yellow Turban thieves, and we only have 1,500 village warriors, how can we be the enemy?" The war in the army is just a fire and water strategy, and I am thinking about how to use the strategy of fire and water in this battle. ”

Tian Feng stood up and said: "Feng also thought about this problem, but in Feng's mind, the thieves rose up and cut wood for soldiers, and the reason why the county couldn't resist was just that the thieves were huge. If we adopt the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king, and send a brave general to directly take the head of the opponent's leader, then 50,000 yellow scarves will collapse like a chicken and a dog. ”

Brave generals, I am not short of brave generals now, besides, this policy is consistent with Liu Bei's first battle in history, I immediately got up and saluted Tian Feng: "Respect the teachings of the military teacher, this is the way of the battle formation." ”

Frustrated and embarrassed, he said: "I am pedantic, I didn't expect the Yellow Turban's combat power to be like this, if you follow Fu Hao's words, you can win the battle." ”

I didn't have time to take care of my frustrated thoughts, so I immediately got up and ordered: "Two virtuous brothers, you are in command of the two brigades of sergeants, and when you see the Yellow Turban thief, you must attack the thief's head, if you can behead the thief's head, this battle can be won." I will take the lead when the two of them enter the enemy's line. Everybody, remember your duties and disperse."

Guan Hai had been pulling the back of his chair before, and when he saw me say the word of dissolution, he immediately stood up and said angrily: "Wait, lord, Bingyuan hasn't assigned things yet." ”

When we heard this, we laughed, this Guan Hai, I didn't expect him to be thicker than Zhang Fei, the personal words of the Han Dynasty (such as Yun Chang, Yide, etc.) are the honorific titles of others to themselves, how can there be people who call themselves their own words.

I held back a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Bingyuan, you are my personal general, you have been fighting with me for many years, Liu Bei is there, Guan Hai is there, why do you need to assign tasks again, go quickly, organize and sort out the 500 soldiers of the Chinese army." ”

Guan Hai immediately nodded yes: "Yes, where the lord is, Bingyuan will be there." My lord, I'm going to form the soldiers. I waved goodbye to him.

When I turned my head to look, Zhang Fei was pulling Guan Yu's shirt, where he was hesitating back and forth, I beckoned and asked, "Third brother, do you have anything else?" ”

Zhang Fei pulled Guan Yu and didn't let go. He said to me: "Big brother, little brother, I am going to go into battle to fight, and my second brother and I have to be given weapons and armor by my brother. ”

I was stunned by what he said, there is no shortage of weapons and armor, but there is still a lack of something, what is it? I said angrily, "Brother is like a brother, what do you still lack, tell my brother." ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "My old Zhang still lacks a good horse, so I ask my brother to fulfill it." ”

Good horse? The horses in the army are not bad, you can just pick one. After thinking about it again, I immediately suddenly realized, okay, you Zhang Fei Zhang butcher, it turned out that I had come to see two Izumo horses.

Anyway, these two horses were originally prepared for you, so why not give them to you now? I nodded at Zhang Fei and said yes, "I understand what the virtuous brother means, it seems that the elder brother is not thoughtful." I raised my voice and instructed the attendants, "Come, go to the backyard and bring out the black cone and the purple horse."

Zhang Fei immediately let go of Guan Yu's shirt and said repeatedly: "I'll go, I'll go." ”

I waved my hand to stop Zhang Fei and said to him: "Third brother, these two big horses are the sacred horses of the Xianbei tribe, at first it was not that the elder brother would not give you, but these two horses are still young and unworthy to ride." Today, since I have given you and Yun Chang, you must take care of it, and ride no more than 10 miles a day, and the rest of the time will be trained by the groom, and then you can ride with confidence when the horse is grown up next winter. ”

Zhang Fei nodded again and again, and Guan Yu was also aroused by my curiosity, and asked: "Since this horse is a Xianbei magic horse, what is the magic?" ”

Zhang Fei immediately commented excitedly: "Second brother, don't you know, the **** went to the eldest brother's backyard to play, and saw these two big horses, one foot tall, strong, four hooves, roaring like thunder, but I don't know how fast the horses are?" I was going to ride and play that day, but the stinky horseman resolutely refused to allow it, and today my brother gave it to me to see how the stinky horseman did not allow me to ride. ”

I went on to say: "What is the wonder of being one zhang tall (one Han zhang is 2 meters 1), when this horse grows up, he is two zhang tall, travels thousands of miles in a day, and walks eight hundred at night." Because of its large size, it is the natural leader of the herd when placed in any herd, and if it neighses, the horses tremble and bow down. ”

When Guan Zhang and the others heard about the magic of this horse, they were indescribably excited when they thought that this horse was going to be in their hands.

I changed my tone and said to them, "However, since this horse is a humble horse, there are many rules for feeding it. From now on, this horse is yours, and I will explain it to you here, and you must remember it.

Guan Yu Zhang Fei nodded immediately, showing a look of attention, and listened attentively. I crossed my fingers and said to them, "First: this horse cannot be ridden or raised unless it is a hero. Remember, you are not allowed to let outsiders ride at will. Hearing that this horse hero was only allowed to ride, Guan Yu's lying silkworm eyebrows were raised high, and his face was proud. Zhang Fei just smiled unusually brightly and nodded again and again.

I continued, "Also, the second rule is that the horse must be kept in a special stable, and it must be kept by someone sent by the Xianbei tribe, and the groom has full authority over the breeding of the horses. Yide, this second article you might observe? ”

Zhang Fei immediately objected: "If the stinky horseman still doesn't allow me to ride, then I won't be able to ride this horse." ”

I comforted him and said, "Xianbei people worship heroes, if you are a hero, he will not let you ride." However, if the horse has just finished eating the forage, you will have to ride it, and if the horse is running fast, it is easy to get sick, and the groom should not allow you to ride. Of course, if you don't want to follow these rules, you can do without this horse? ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly shouted: "Yes, I want this horse, if I am not a hero, who is a hero in the world?" If I can't ride a horse, who is qualified to ride it? ”。

I turned my head to look at Guan Yu, Yun Chang's lying silkworm eyebrows were still raised high, and replied: "This horse has so many rules, it must be extraordinary, I must see the magic of this horse." ”

Again, I said, "There are two more rules, and I will tell you at the same time, that this horse shall not be mated with other breeds of horses, and that at each mating time there must be more than two horse officers present to be registered, and the foals born by them must also be registered and kept by special personnel; The horse is also not allowed to be castrated. You have to remember. ”

Guan Zhang and the two nodded in agreement.

Later, 11 grooms from the Liu Hun tribe led the horses out. When they saw me, the two horses raised their hooves and neighed, and the surrounding horses immediately bowed their heads and fell silent.

Guan Yu's eyes immediately lit up, "Good horse" - he exclaimed loudly.

Zhang Fei was fast, and immediately pounced in front of the black cone, hugged the horse's head and said: "I am old Zhang Renhei, I like this black horse, second brother, don't rob me." ”

The black cone immediately shook his head to break free of Zhang Fei, raised his front hooves and stepped towards Lao Zhang. Zhang Fei dodged and said happily: "Good horse, big brother, can I ride it now." ”

I turned to the groom, and the groom replied, "This horse has not been walked today, and it is okay to jog for a while, and then run quickly." ”

As soon as Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand to lead the horse. I hurriedly shouted, "Third brother, slow down." Zhang Fei stopped unhappily and glared at me wistfully.

I said to the groom, "From this day onwards I will give these two horses to my brothers, and you will send three men on each side to keep the horses." "Mafu promised.

I turned to Guan Zhang and said, "The two virtuous brothers don't have a special stable yet, so this horse will be put in my place first." Also, the two virtuous brothers went to rectify the soldiers first, and then came back to walk the horses. Well, Guan Bingyuan has been in battle with me for a long time, and he also knows those non-commissioned officers (my original attendants), and the two of them have just joined the army, if there is anything unclear, just ask him. ”

Guan Zhang and the two reluctantly left. After a while, Zhang Fei came back and yelled: "Big brother, I'm going to walk the horse."

At this time, I was discussing with Tian Feng, and I was surprised to hear this: "Yide, you have just joined the army, and you have completed the formation of the army so quickly, what a genius." ”

Zhang Fei waved his hand and said: "Didn't you ask me to find Guan Bingyuan, I saw that the kid finished organizing his army, and was idle, sitting in the sun, patting his thighs and gossiping with me, saying something: 'I followed the lord in Mount Tai that day, the lord returned from Mount Tai to learn arts, the day out of the mountain, the tiger traveled 10 miles to send each other, the birds came west, the rain was pouring, and the heaven and earth cried for it'. I thought, since this man has been with the eldest brother for many years, the eldest brother's business is his business, and the eldest brother's business is also his business, so I immediately grabbed his neck and asked him to agree to do my share of the group. ”

Fainted, I can't stand this Zhang Fei.
